(siehe unten) AUSSER KONTROLLE <https://esc.mur.at/de/projekt/ausser-kontrolle> Auf das scheinbare AuÃŸer-Kontrolle-Geraten-sein und die unbehagliche Polykrise unserer Zeit lÃ¤sst sich auch mit einem gewissen MaÃŸ an Ambivalenztoleranz reagieren: d.h., mit der resilienten FÃ¤higkeit, diffuse Unsicherheiten und gefÃ¼hlte Bedrohungen, aber auch die UnwÃ¤gbarkeiten und ZwiespÃ¤ltigkeiten einer Zeit seismografisch wahrzunehmen, sie analytisch aufzunehmen, verantwortungsvoll darauf zu reagieren, aktiv zu werden und nicht zuletzt kreativ umzuwandeln â€“ auch, um am Ende emotional handlungsfÃ¤hig und produktiv zu bleiben. Dies zeichnet gerade auch zeitgenÃ¶ssische KÃ¼nstler.innen aus, die sich den neuesten Technologien wie etwa der KÃ¼nstlichen Intelligenz offen-neugierig, kritisch-reflektierend und kreativ-experimentierend zuwenden. /Embedded/, Svitlana Zhytnia (UKR/AUT) /GefÃ¼ge / Cloud,/ Christine SchÃ¶rkhuber (AUT) /Octopussy/, Borut Savski (SLO) /SwarmOfSpeakers â€“ The Unconscious Orchestra/, Stefan Doepner (SLO/DEU) /tele-present wind/, David Bowen (USA) /Twin Speaks/, Borut Savski (SLO) ErÃ¶ffnung: Freitag, 16.5.2025, 20 Uhrâ€¨ FÃ¼hrung durch die Ausstellung mit den KÃ¼nstler.innen David Bowen, Stefan Doepner, Borut Savski, Christine SchÃ¶rkhuber, Svitlana Zhytnia ab 20.30 Uhrâ€¨ 25 Jahre /aktuelle kunst in graz /â€¨JubilÃ¤um mit Mama Feelgood (AUT), DJ Adriana Celentana (AUT), VJ Zhi Zhi Visuals (UKR/AUT) 18.5.2025, 14 Uhrâ€¨ /aktuelle kunst in graz/ Rundgang mit Prof. Sabine Flachâ€¨ Treffpunkt: RechbauerstraÃŸe 21, 8010 Graz Galerie Schnitzler und Lindsberger Halle fÃ¼r Kunst Steiermarkâ€¨ Grazer Kunstverein *esc* medien kunst labor Galerie Grillâ€¨ 21. â€“ 22.5.2025, 10 â€“ 18 Uhrâ€¨ House Of Horrors, esclab mit Nick Acorne (UKR/AUT), Nina Botthof (AUT), Verena Kuni (DEU), Christof Ressi (AUT), Valentina Vuksic (DEU/CHE) 12.6.2025, 19 Uhr â€¨Game over Labkonzert, Konzertperformance von Christof Ressi (AUT) 25.6.2025, 10 â€“ 18 Uhr â€¨KHIPU, esclab mit Corazon DeRobota (CHL) und Melissa Aguilar (CRI) Ã–ffnungszeiten: /aktuelle kunst in graz/ Freitag, 16.5.2025, 17 â€“ 23 Uhr Samstag, 17.5.2025, 11 â€“ 19 Uhr Sonntag, 18.5.2025, 11 â€“ 17 Uhr Ã–ffnungszeiten: 20.5. â€“ 29.8.2025 Dienstag â€“ Freitag, 14.00 â€“ 19.00 Uhr und nach Vereinbarung *esc* medien kunst labor â€“ ausgezeichnet mit dem Ã–sterreichischen Kunstpreis in der Kategorie Kunst- und Kulturinitiativen.

(see below) OUT OF CONTROL <https://esc.mur.at/en/projekt/ausser-kontrolle> A certain degree of tolerance for ambivalence is one way of responding to the seemingly out-of-control and uneasy polycrisis of our time: i.e. with the resilient ability to seismographically perceive diffuse uncertainties and perceived threats, but also the uncertainties and ambiguities of a time, to absorb them analytically, to react to them responsibly, to become active and, last but not least, to transform them creatively - also in order to remain emotionally capable of action and productive in the end. This is what characterizes contemporary artists in particular, who approach the latest technologies such as artificial intelligence with open curiosity, critical reflection and creative experimentation. /Embedded,/ Svitlana Zhytnia (UKR/AUT) /Structure / Cloud,/ Christine SchÃ¶rkhuber (AUT) /Octopussy,/ Borut Savski (SLO) /SwarmOfSpeakers - The Unconscious Orchestra,/ Stefan Doepner (SLO/DEU) /tele-present wind,/ David Bowen (USA) /Twin Speaks,/ Borut Savski (SLO) Opening: Friday, 16.5.2025, 8 pmâ€¨ Guided tour through the exhibition with the artists David Bowen, Stefan Doepner, Borut Savski, Christine SchÃ¶rkhuber, Svitlana Zhytnia from 8.30 pmâ€¨ 25 years of /aktuelle kunst in graz/ â€¨Anniversary with Mama Feelgood (AUT), DJ Adriana Celentana (AUT), VJ Zhi Zhi Visuals (UKR/AUT) 18.5.2025, 2 pmâ€¨ /aktuelle kunst in graz/Tour with Prof. Sabine Flachâ€¨ Meeting point: RechbauerstraÃŸe 21, 8010 Graz Galerie Schnitzler und Lindsberger Halle fÃ¼r Kunst Steiermark â€¨Grazer Kunstverein *esc* medien kunst labor Galerie Grillâ€¨ 21 - 22.5.2025, 10 am - 6 pmâ€¨ House Of Horrors, esclab with Nick Acorne (UKR/AUT), Nina Botthof (AUT), Verena Kuni (DEU), Christof Ressi (AUT), Valentina Vuksic (DEU/CHE) 12.6.2025, 7 pm â€¨Game over lab concert, concert performance by Christof Ressi (AUT) 25.6.2025, 10 am - 6 pm â€¨KHIPU, esclab with Corazon DeRobota (CHL) and Melissa Aguilar (CRI) Opening hours: aktuelle kunst in graz Friday, 16.5.2025, 5 - 11 pm Saturday, 17.5.2025, 11 am - 7 pm Sunday, 18.5.2025, 11 am - 5 pm Opening hours: 20.5. - 29.8.2025 Tuesday - Friday, 14.00 - 19.00 hrs and by appointment *esc* medien kunst labor - awarded the Austrian Art Prize in the category Art and Culture Initiatives.

* * Get Together: /Exploring Digital Humanism / /Critical Perspectives & Open Discussion / eine Veranstaltung der Plattform Digitaler Humanismus https://digitalhumanism.at/ In English The concept of /Digital Humanism/has gained international visibility, advocating for human-centered technology, ethical design, and democratic digital governance. But like all humanisms, it is not without its critiques. Is Digital Humanism still too Eurocentric? Too focused on individual rationality at the expense of collective values? How can it better account for environmental concerns, non-human agency, or perspectives beyond Western traditions? Date & Time: May 6, 2025, 19:00 Location: esc medien kunst labor, BÃ¼rgergasse 5, 8010 Graz Looking forward to your visit! Reni HofmÃ¼ller und Ilse Weber Get Together: *Exploring Digital Humanism â€“ Critical Perspectives & Open Discussion * <https://esc.mur.at/de/projekt/get-together-exploring-digital-humanism-%E2%8…> The concept of Digital Humanism has gained international visibility, advocating for human-centered technology, ethical design, and democratic digital governance. But like all humanisms, it is not without its critiques. Is Digital Humanism still too Eurocentric? Too focused on individual rationality at the expense of collective values? How can it better account for environmental concerns, non-human agency, or perspectives beyond Western traditions? This informal gathering invites researchers, artists, activists, and anyone in Graz interested in Digital Humanismâ€”whether as an advocate, skeptic, or explorerâ€”to join an open discussion. Together, weâ€™ll explore key critiques and emerging alternatives, including post-humanist, regenerative, and decolonial perspectives on technology and society. We will begin with short 5-minute impulses from our speakers, each offering their personal take on what Digital Humanism means to them and what critical questions they believe are worth discussing. This will be followed by an open get together and informal conversation among all participants. Whether you're deeply engaged in Digital Humanism or just curious about its implications, we welcome you to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and build new connections in a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere. No registration requiredâ€”just drop by! We look forward to an evening of stimulating conversations and new perspectives! Speakers: Dr. MÃ³nica Cano AbadÃa A moral and political philosopher, currently Senior Scientist and Deputy Head of the ELSI Services and Research Unit at BBMRI-ERIC, and Gender, Equality, and Diversity Specialist.
